General Information
Introduction
The 7847i-E Intranet Communication Module transports alarm signals via a Private LAN.
This easy-to-install device provides sophisticated data security and communicates directly to
a 7810PC or 7810iR-ent Intranet receiver (herein referred to as the “receiver”) in a private
network application. In addition to alarm reporting, the 7847i-E provides
upload/downloading capability via a Private LAN.
NOTE: The communicator is evaluated for Level A3 Active Channel Security and P3 Passive
Channel Security. If used in zone trigger mode or for Passive Channel Security, a Listed
DACT must be used and connected to the MX8000 central station receiver.
System Features
Basic features of the 7847i-E include:
•Easy CAT-5 10 BaseT connection to a hub or router
•Installs behind firewalls without compromising network security
•Supports dynamic or static IP addressing
•Quick connection to compatible Honeywell series control panels
•Simple programming using a 7720P programming tool
•Reports fire, burg, and status messages via a Private LAN
•Allows uploading and downloading of control panel data over aPrivate LAN
About Private Network Application
The 7847i-E transmits signals within a private network application to a 7810PC or
7810iR-ent receiver. Up to 300 7847i-E Intranet Communication Modules may be routed to a
single receiver.
For receivers:
MX8000: UL/ULC. can be used for secondary reporting in ECP. Required for Zone Trigger or
Passive Channel Security.

Encryption
The 7847i-E and receiver support private key encryption. Private key encryption means that
both the sender and the receiver know the KEY used to encrypt the data. Each device
produced by Honeywell is loaded with a globally unique identifier called a MAC number, and
a large random number or KEY. When a device contacts the receiver it sends the MAC
number in the clear followed by the message that is encrypted using the KEY data.
The communication devices use 256 bit AES (Rijndael) encryption (which is required for
certain government installations). The AlarmNet-i AES Encryption Software Module
Version 1.0 contained in the Honeywell products has NIST approval. Listings for this
approval can be found at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/documents/aes/aesval.html
Certification number 979.
Installation Key
At installation a 10-digit installation key needs to be programmed into every device in the
network. This 10-digit key should be the same for all devices used in the Private LAN mode.
The communication device uses this key to encrypt its private key when it registers with the
receiver. This way its MAC and private key can be learned. This installation key is used for
registration purposes only and is not used for supervision or alarm transmission. Once a
device is registered the receiver will have a copy of the 7847i-E’s factory KEY. From this
point on the unique factory key is used for communications.
Recovery Mode
In the event of a failure of the receiver requiring the replacement of the hardware or the
erasure of its memory, the receiver supports a Recovery Mode. In Recovery Mode, the
receiver is programmed with the same 10-digit installation key. When a 7847i-E
communicates with the receiver and is found not to exist in its database, a special response is
sent back to the 7847i-E requesting it to re-register itself. The 7847i-E then registers using
the 10-digit installation key. When all accounts have been recovered, Recovery Mode can be
turned off to provide better control of registration.
Modes of Operation
UL/ULC
Only ECP Mode has been approved for ULC installations.
ECP and Zone Trigger have been approved for UL installations
The 7847i-E provide four modes of operation so they can be used with various types of control
panels, as summarized below:
ECP Mode
•This mode is for use with Honeywell controls that support communication device (LRR)-ECP
communication
•The module connects to the control’s keypad terminals and provides 2-way communication
with the control using ECP messaging
•The control treats the module as a communication (LRR) device, so program the control
accordingly, including setting the module’s proper device address
•Panel-generated reports are sent in Contact ID format
•The module also supports two hardwire zone trigger inputs (zones 6 and 7) – these report in
ADEMCO High-Speed format

Section 1: General Information
1-3
Zone Trigger Mode
•This mode is for use with controls that do not support communication device-ECP
communication nor 4204 Relay Modules
•The module provides six input zones
•Each zone can be configured for +V, -V, or EOLR triggering
•Each zone can be programmed for inverted operation, delayed reporting, and restoral
reporting
•Zones should use EOL resistors and programmed as V+ inverted or V- Inverted so a cut line
results in an alarm.
•Zone 1 and 2 inputs can distinguish between pulsed and steady signals and report fire or
burglary alarms respectively
•Zone 1 and 2 inputs can also be programmed to report LYNX panic (if used with LYNX
control)
•Zone 1 and 2 are not for use as fire/burglary zones by UL
•Reports are sent in ADEMCO High-Speed format
Module Supervision Features
The 7847i-E provides the following types of supervision and module fault detection:
•Network communication failure: In the event the receiver does not hear a supervisory
message from the module within a specified time (“Supervision” option), it notifies the central
station of a communication failure.
•Fault output: Terminal 11 can serve as a fail-safe trigger for module fault conditions.
If used, the fault relay will trip when the following conditions occur; tamper*, loss of network
connectivity*, the device is not registered.
*Alarm reporting for the noted condition must be enabled for it to trigger the fault relay.
•Cover tamper condition (“Tamper Rpt” option).

Mounting and Wiring
Mounting the 7847i-E
UL/ULC
For Commercial Fire the communicator must be mounted to a single or
double gang box.
The 7847i-E must be mounted indoors. To mount the unit, see Figure 2 and complete the
following steps:
1. Unpack the unit and detach the case back by pushing up into the two tabs located at the
bottom of the 7847i-E module with the blade of a screwdriver while pulling the case back
and case front apart.
2. Locate the case back over the mounting surface such that the opening in the case back is
aligned with the wire/cable access opening (in the mounting surface) while passing the
wires/cable through the opening in the case back, or through the removable knockouts
located on the bottom of the back cover.
3. Secure the case back to the mounting surface using four screws (supplied).
4. When all wiring is completed, attach the case front of the unit to the case back. Attach
the top first then press the bottom section inward until it snaps into place securely.
Secure bottom using cover securing screw (supplied) as shown below, (required for UL
installations).
5. Twist and remove cap from handle (supplied) and discard handle. Insert cap in top hole
of case back, as shown.

Wiring the 7847i-E
Unshielded, 22 AWG cable is recommended for 7847i-E power/data wires.
ULC
For ULC Household Fire and Burglary installations, use ECP wiring only.
NOTE: The unit is to be mounted with all interconnecting wires between the Listed Control panel
and communicator less than 3 feet in length and contained within the same room. All
interconnecting wiring must be installed in rigid or in flexible metal conduit if run in the walls or
ceiling. A UL/ULC Listed router must also be used.
Wiring for ECP Mode
Most Honeywell ADEMCO control panels support ECP data communication, (e.g., VISTA-
10P, VISTA-15P, VISTA-20P, LynxR-I, VISTA-128BP/BPT and VISTA-250BP/BPT and the
VISTA-128FBP/FBPT and VISTA-250FP/FBPT). However, there are some panels that do
not. Check the Installation and Setup Guide for the control panel you are using to see if it
supports ECP communication.
Connect the 7847i-E to a compatible Honeywell VISTA control panel's ECP terminals, in
parallel with keypads and other peripheral devices, VIP module, etc. Wire length/gauge
limitations are the same for the module as they are for keypads and other peripheral devices.
To wire the module for ECP communication, see Figure 3and do the following:

Figure 3. Wiring a Vista for ECP Mode
Wiring for Zone Trigger Mode
To trip the zone on the 7847i-E in V+ trigger mode, the positive triggering voltage from the
control panel must be within 2.0V-14V.
Trigger levels above this range may cause permanent damage to the unit.
Trigger levels below this range result in unreliable operation.
To trip the zone on the 7847i-E in V- trigger mode, the negative triggering voltage must be
less than 1.0V.
Connect a wire from the triggering source (bell output, voltage trigger, etc.) of the control
panel to the zone input of the module, and connect a common ground between the module
and control panel.
